But she was lying.
According to prosecutors Noor Salman gave a green light to her husband Omar Mateen to commit the mass killing.

Mandolfo’s opening statement also included a preview of the evidence the government plans to use to convict Salman, who is accused of aiding and abetting her husband and of lying to federal investigators after the attack.

Mandolfo said Salman scoped out Disney Springs with her husband before the shooting. “He said, ‘What would make people more upset – an attack at a club or an attack at Disney?’” the prosecutor said. Salman’s defense has argued that some of the claims she made in statements to the FBI after the attack — including that she and Mateen had driven around Pulse together days before the massacre — are contracted by cellphone records, which don’t place them in the area. Her statements are a key element in the case.

Mandolfo said Salman knew Mateen had been looking at jihadist material — and that it was so extreme, she would pull her 3-year-old son away from the room.

Mandolfo said Salman knowingly hid her husband’s intentions from his family and the police. Prosecutors intend to prove this point using text messages Salman sent to Mateen, in which they say she helped him concoct a cover story for where he was going in the hours before the attack. “If ur mom calls say nimo invited you out and noor wants to stay home, ” she wrote, referring to a friend of Mateen’s. “She asked where you were xoxo. Love you.”

Mandolfo also said Salman was aware of her husband spending “thousands of dollars to prepare for the attack.”
